While shopping at Ocean State Job Lots, a bargain store, Himself found packages of Tim Tams. Tim Tams are Australian cookies (biscuits). Chocolate cookies with a creamy filling and enrobed in chocolate. There are several varieties: Original, Dark Chocolate, Chewy Caramel, Double Coat, Murray River Salted Caramel, and White. I've had the Dark, Original, and Chewy Caramel.
Apparently, I haven't been eating these cookies correctly.
From Toots: and remember you have to also try the normal choc one, put one end into your Coffee, and suck it through the Tim Tam.
She even sent a link to a video
I don't drink coffee so Toots suggested a cup of hot chocolate. I gave it a try, and though delicious, I didn't like the Tim Tam melting so I would have to cram the whole thing in my mouth. No, thanks. I'll savor them one bite at a time.
Besides finding the cookies at Ocean State Job Lots, I have also seen them at Target.

I haven't heard of or seen TimTams, but like you, I'm not a cookie dunker so I'd prefer them straight up. Next time I'm in Ocean State Job Lots or at Target I'm going to look for them because I'd love to give them a try. Happy T day CJ. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThey are delicious and come in a variety of flavors
DeleteGood morning, I have never seen these before, something my husband would like for sure as he loves little sweets like this-thanks for sharing Happy T
ReplyDeleteCheck out Target if there's one near you. I have found them there in the past.
DeleteI'd never heard of Tim Tams til you mentioned them, and as I read descriptions and look at photos (and your video) I don't think I've had anything similar. They do look good. Happy T Tuesday
ReplyDeleteThey are too die for
DeleteYes, I got Tim Tams, too, as pressie. By golly are those sweet! Not even Ingo could eat them, LOL.
ReplyDeleteA little bit goes a long way
DeleteI have never heard of them CJ! BUT they sound and look delicous!! Yeah... i don't think i would dunk them either... Hubby had a banana split yesterday and i had a peanut buster parfait at DQ.. that was our treat.. lol Happy T day! hugs! deb

DeleteThey look good and theerfect addition with your cuppa 😀. They sound and look a bit like a chocolate biscuit we have here called a "Penguin". Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of timtams and wouldn't be able to follow the instructions; don't drink coffee or hot chocolate; flavored waters yes; don't think the timtams would do well in it tho !
ReplyDeleteThey are yummy all by themselves
DeleteNow These Are New To Me And Your Blizzard Book Is Incredible - Always Enjoy Stopping By Here CJ - You Rock
ReplyDeleteCheers
Always happy to have you stop by
DeleteI had heard of TimTams from various Aussie bloggers. They seem to be a favorite with many of them. I think one even had a recipe for making your own!
ReplyDeleteMy Target and also World Market had them for a while, in a few flavors, and I especially loved the mint ones. Target hasn't had them lately, though.
best... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Boo on Target not carrying them in your area
DeleteI have never seen these but I will be on the lookout if I ever visit OSJL. Your description sounds delicious!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
These cookies are so delightful
DeleteThis made me smile! I've never been a cookie dunker myself ~ Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteOne bite at a time. 😸
DeleteA friend who lives in Australia sent me some Tim Tams, and I loved them. Had no idea I was eating them wrong, though. Thanks for sharing the proper way, and your hot chocolate with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ. Sorry I was MIA for several days. Just couldn't get your page to allow me to leave a comment.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, dear. I've been having problems on various blogs leaving comments, too.
DeleteI have never heard of Tim Tams but they sound rich and so good. I don't know if I would like to dip them in hot coco or coffee either. Have a nice evening.
ReplyDeleteDipping in liquid loses all the chocolatey goodness coating on the outside
DeleteNever heard of those. I like coffee so I would try that.
ReplyDelete😊
DeleteI have had them a few times, but I prefer to bite mine, piece by piece! Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI like them this way the best, too
DeleteI've heard of TimTams but never tried them I have however eaten Penguin biscuits in this way - quite messy!! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
ReplyDeletePenguin biscuits sound cute
DeleteI miss Tim Tams, haven't seen them here for a while but I do like to dunk them in my tea or coffee lol but then I do like to dunk all chocolate things in my tea haha Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx

DeleteAh very interesting read.. made me smile, I love my Tim Tams, there is a Peppermint one, great to have with a meal, not dunked as per the video, thanks CJ, glad that you found them and like them just to eat. ha.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the peppermint ones and I've loved Tim Tams ever since you sent me a package yonks and yonks ago
